Marvel Releases the First Details on Marvel Legacy

Posted on by

This fall sees Marvel‘s latest initiative, “Marvel Legacy.” The move returns running titles to their original series numbering, with a “renewed sense of hope, wonder, enjoyment and fun.”

It might sound familiar because this is similar to DC’s “Rebirth” initiative which returned some series to their original numbering and also had a focus on “hope, wonder, enjoyment and fun.”

Marvel looks to also be keeping the old and the new with both Miles and Peter, Riri and Tony, Thor and Jane Foster, and Laura and Logan.

It all kicks off in the fall with a 50-page one-shot, Marvel Legacy #1, which will feature a four-panel fold-out cover by Joe Quesada. The one-shot brings together writer Jason Aaron and artist Esad Ribic.

The goal according to Aaron is to honor Marvel’s past and sets the stage for the future. Aaron interestingly added:

We get a peak into the very distant past here so we go back to the prehistoric days of the Marvel Universe. [We are] seeing versions of Marvel’s biggest legacy characters and different versions we haven’t seen before and [an adventure] of, I guess I could call ‘the Prehistoric Avengers.’ That adventure will have major ramifications for the Marvel Universe going forward.

Marvel has also set a high bar stating that the comic features a “last-page reveal that just might break the Internet” and features “the return of a central piece of the Marvel mythos that readers have been mourning in recent months.”

Part of the initiative is to create a “clean entry point” for every series even with titles resuming their original numbering. Trades will have “clearly marked” trade dress and cover treatments.
